In contrast to the natural beauty of Alaska, there is much man-made beauty as well. The above photograph was taken in the "Amber Room" of Cathrine The Great's Palace. the room is huge, and completly covered in Amber. What a spectacular site. Talk about "conspicuous consumption." None-the-less, when you walk into this room the beauty of the amber is stupendous.

Great photo.Can you imagine the mind-sets of the people who actually OWNED all that,and probably considered it 'interesting'.I'd bet POWER really did corrupt.
